You can listen to it here. I will post the sermon outline for you. All of this is on In Touch’s Web Site for to Peruse.<BR/>http://www.intouch.org/site/c.dhKHIXPKIuE/b.2264355/<BR/><BR/>Sermon Outline<BR/>Our God of Grace:<BR/>How Grace Changes Everything, Part 1<BR/>Charles F. Stanley<BR/>Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8-11<BR/>I. Introduction: Many believers don’t have an accurate perception of the Lord. He’s not a distant, unloving judge, but a God of grace. <BR/>A. All About Grace <BR/>1. Grace can be defined as God’s undeserved, unearned favor, goodness, kindness, and love toward us. <BR/>2. Grace is a free gift that cannot be earned (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 11:6). <BR/>3. God’s grace is mentioned 150 times in the New Testament. Paul opened and closed his letters by mentioning it. This means the Lord’s unearned favor is at the heart of Christianity. <BR/>4. G-R-A-C-E is “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.” Our sin-debt was paid in full through Jesus’ death on the cross. We have the privilege of coming to His throne with all our requests. <BR/>5. Mercy is not getting what we deserve—namely, punishment for our sins. Grace is getting what we don’t deserve—that is, favor from God. <BR/>B. Because of God’s grace… <BR/>1. He has chosen and predestined us (Eph. 1:3-6). <BR/>2. He has justified us (Rom. 3:23-26). Apart from grace, we would experience eternal death (Ezek. 18: 4, 20). <BR/>3. He has given us an eternal position in heaven (Eph. 2:1-8). We are living examples of God’s grace. <BR/>4. We can not only endure suffering but also profit from it (2 Cor. 12:8-9). His grace makes us able to face trials. <BR/>5. We are called to serve Him (Gal. 1:1-6, 15-16). <BR/>6. We have been given spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:6-8; 2 Cor. 9:6-8). <BR/>7. He provides for all our needs (2 Cor. 9:8). <BR/>II. Closing: God’s grace is a gift offered to all humanity. However, each person must be willing to receive the gift before he or she can enjoy its benefits. This week, let God empower you to help someone come to know Jesus.<BR/>http://www.intouch.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=dhKHIXPKIuE&b=3813569&content_id={C2B9A22C-69B4-4BF1-9B32-B5F9DE08A004}&notoc=1&printmode=1<BR/><BR/>Wayne SmithI Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178461849586733839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-69020622028566098322008-05-20T12:05:00.000-04:002008-05-20T12:05:00.000-04:00I Mitchell (Wayne),Do you attend Charles Stanley's...I Mitchell (Wayne),<BR/><BR/>Do you attend Charles Stanley's church?

I being of Reformed belief have held Dr. Stanley Ministry in higher regards than some Reformed Ministries. Dr. Stanley has never Preached the full Gospel until today Sunday May 18, 2008. I rejoice and Praise the Lord for Dr Stanley’s preaching on God’s Grace and being Predestinated Before the Foundation of the World. I have shared this past year how my mother taught me about The Lamb’s Book of Life. Ephesians 1:3. Listen to Dr Charles Stanley’s online Sermon and tell me what you think.<BR/><BR/>Wayne SmithI Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178461849586733839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-509389166960144602008-05-19T11:28:00.000-04:002008-05-19T11:28:00.000-04:00Tom,I can listen to 660 am from NE Georgia where I...Tom,<BR/>I can listen to 660 am from NE Georgia where I live and work. The program is great and I'm glad that they are interviewing you. Yesterday we had a Deacon's meeting and we were going over a new constitution. I brought recommendations of stricter church membership(only in the sense that Deacons or Elders interview the potential member before granting membership) and regenerate church membership by reforming the church rolls. I told them that we are lying on our resume and we know it. I don't think that it will get changed, but at least it's being talked about. I pray that your resolution will also create moer talk that will result in change and that God will be glorified,Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15707193315614821647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-72934261549019545992008-05-19T10:07:00.000-04:002008-05-19T10:07:00.000-04:00Thanks for this Tom.
